Meet Ed Grattan. This sophomore loves getting involved on campus and using his sense of humor and good looks to charm the ladies. You might have spotted him at the RSVP Center, where he’s a Greek Advocate, or at the Delta Tau Delta house or around campus with his camera.

Favorite pick-up line: “No tengo algo bueno para decir en Inglés, entonces le diré un cuento de un gatito y un árbol en Español.” (I do not have anything good to say in English, so I will tell you a tale of a kitten and tree in Spanish.)
Last song played on your iPod: “Shake Me Down” by Cage the Elephant
Unique fact: “I am from El Salvador and am bilingual.”
Dream job: “I’d like to travel around the world and have the ability to give medical care to those who need it. It would also be nice to become a religious studies professor.“
Favorite vacation spot: “Anywhere with a lake or a beach. A week at the Lake of the Ozarks with friends is always great.”
If I were an animal: Unfortunately, there is an ongoing joke that I look like Timon from The Lion King. So I guess a defenseless meerkat.”
Something no one knows: “I like photography and would like to some day get good enough to display my photos. I am also from the future.”
Perfect date: “It would probably involve a Blues game, dinner and a movie, and a good concert to top it off. I don’t know how that would fit into one day, but as long as they like the idea of hockey, a funny movie and great music, I’m fine.”
